“The dog expects to be greeted as usual by their owner. When the owner bursts into laughter, the dog will feel embarrassed,” the vet said in a radio interview this morning. “I know of one dog that hid under a bed for days until it got used to the new hair-cut.”

However, not all dogs will feel embarrassment after being groomed, some dogs actually love the feel of a new and shorter hair-do and will embrace it.
